I have 2 GS400s and 1 ES300 the car was on Ebay and I Bid it to 8,300 paid a little more then that but I think its worth it, Like I said it feels like brand new but I also realize its 14 years old.
I really don't know if I should do the timing belt or not as I really hate to touch/take apart this car its to nice LOL!
Will post pictures of the two cars shortly.
The silver GS400 (200K) I bought I did starter, Alternator, lower ball joints, Lower control arm, and sway bar bushing's
I also had the famous rattle when going over bump put new rubber O rings on brake caliper pins and it finally stopped the clanking over bumps getting ready to remove and install new painted fender car runs like a top after putting new plugs in it.
Will post a bunch of pictures soon of both cars.
This site has helped me a lot and I want to thank all you guys that contributed!

8300?? Geez anything under 10 grand would be a steal in my opinion, you're looking at years and years of trouble free driving, I'd rather buy that then a lot of newer models, they were just built so well

I was looking at the newer models but I think they are made Cheaper/Lighter to get better gas millage I am hoping to get 10 years out of her going to get it rust treated if it will help.
Going to get harness so that I can use Nav to play DVD ecx.

Got a few minor problems like clicking noise in reverse (something to do with rear brakes I think ) and slight vibration in steering wheel when cold going 60mph.(?)
Other then that the car rides and handles like a new car it feels really nibble compared to my other 200K silver GS.
The 200K GS feels more responsive when giving it throttle I'm going to change the plugs in the 48K to see if that will make it feel more responsive like the 200K GS.
